The VGF 2 pricing thread

[KAT4DISNEY]

Hi everyone, if in fact $207 is the basic per point price for GF out of the gate, what do you think the graduated incentives will look like for DVC members? For example what do you think the discount will look like for 100 points, vs. 150 points, vs. 175 points, vs. 200 points etc.?

Secondly, we are fairly recent DVC GF point holders (2020 -- GF DVC is our CoVID baby ). Traditionally, can resale DVC members (like us) also take advantage of these incentives? We would like to add on to our current allotment at GF.

Also, based on DVC history, have the very best DVC direct pricing incentives been provided right when new points for a resort are made available? Can we assume that when the gates open, that will be the best time to buy-in if you are a DVC member vs. ...... six months down the road?

Thanks!

No clue on the incentives. Just have to wait.

Once you're a member then you can add on at member incentive rates. The incentives are generally a bit better than to the general public plus you can add on less than the minimum they'll require for new members although incentives are always less for lower point add on's and increase as you add more.

Years and years ago the initial pricing was not the best but for the past 8 years or so it often has been barring some unforseen disaster where DVC decides they need to pick up the sales a bit.

I wonder if the initial Riviera incentives might provide some kind of indication as to the opening VGF2 incentives for members. Do you remember what they were, or anyone else out there?

I think the bwv incentives may be the better model to use for incentives

So if I buy 55 points at VGF direct, I can use those points at RIV?

Yes you could at 7 months if there is availability.

Thanks. Guess I will see where pricing lands… I was hoping to buy something to get an extra year (December use year) but most of the resale I see is stripped anyway.

I'll be giving serious consideration to adding on if VGF2 points are offered under $200 after discounts. I keep reminding myself that DLT is coming too though.

I don’t know much about VGF (and VGF2). Will you only be able to book studios and not 1 or 2 bedrooms? There seems to be a lot of interest for VGF2. Is it the location that makes it special?

Disney already released a new point chart for VGF. It shows VGF2 rooms as a new category but on the same chart, meaning those who buy at either VGF1 or VGF2 will be able to book at either.

VGF2 only has Studios, so one of the legitimate concerns of those who already own at VGF1 is that one bedrooms, two bedrooms, and Grand Villas will be harder to book.

Right now, it’s very hard to get a Studio at VGF1 for much of the year, so the situation is going to flip-flop. Studios will become easier, other rooms will become harder.

If VGF2 is part of the VGF condo association (which is what was broadcast by DVC when VGF2 was announced), then it will be like Jambo/Kidani at AKV and you should be able to book at either building with VGF2 points.

If they change their plans and create a separate condo association (like CCV and BRV at WL) then VGF2 owners would not have home resort benefits at the original VGF.

The interest in VGF2 lies in the fact that it's new, that VGF is a small resort and hard to book if you don't own there.

VGF2 will be able to book 1, 2 and 3 BR as well as studios in VGF1 building. I think part of the reason there may be so much interest is because it is an awesome resort and location and the studios have been difficult to book at 7 months. Lately almost impossible right at 11 months to the second if not walking for early December. The new building may open up availability at 7- months. But I think people may want to buy to make sure they can get a studio at their specific date. I will most likely not add any more VGF points because I think the 1 BR will be more difficult to book. I would have rather seen a separate association, but I think Disney knows that even though the studio only resort will be popular they also know how awesome VGF1 is and want that to be available option.

Here's the new VGF point chart showing both VGF2 ("Resort Studio") and VGF1 on the same point chart. My guess is being able to book at both will make VGF2 more appealing to new buyers which, in turn, will help justify a higher VGF2 price.

Thank you everyone for the clarification! I had no idea.

Thank you everyone for the clarification! I had no idea.

And to add, the term VGF2 is not an official term. It was what its called here!

I want to buy in because I want to own there, but won’t buy resale points due to the restrictions on them. Plus, two studios…if I can not get the 2 bedroom…will work just as well.

 

[TinkB278]

I was kind of confused when I saw the new points chart. I figured at least some of the vgf2 studios would be less than the original studios due to the lack of the kitchenette. Is there something about the new studios that makes up for this and justifies the equal points usage?

I think you own at Riviera? If so, how do you compare the 2? I wasn't even thinking about VGF until I started to hear more about it.

I think I saw a diagram that shows it has 2 bathrooms instead of 1? This is important to me as the only female among guys, lol.
